"Who dares to cause trouble in the Heavenly Sword Mansion?!"
The leader of the guards scolded loudly.
There were over a hundred of these guards, and each one of them was a Profound King. Their auras were astonishing.
Seeing their arrival, the white-clothed man with a folding fan revealed a smile.
"Ant, it's time for you to die."
"Hmph, people from the outer realms are only so-so," sneered the Mortal Continent cultivator.
When the guards arrived, the white-robed man hastily cupped his hands and said, "Lord guard, this person is rude and unreasonable. He attacked me."
"Why did you attack him in the Heavenly Sword Mansion?!" The guard leader icily asked the Mortal Continent cultivator.
"He bullied me. Can't I retaliate?"
"Openly attacking someone in the Heavenly Sword Mansion is a violation of the rules. Only death awaits you," said the guard leader emotionlessly.
As he spoke, the guard leader extended his hand and directly suppressed the Mortal Continent cultivator.
"He also attacked me! Why is it unfair for me to be punished?!" The Mortal Continent cultivator was also a bit anxious.
"Hmph, he has a cultivation rank and can attack in the Heavenly Sword Mansion. But you can't."
After saying that, the huge hand pressed down, and the cultivators of the Mortal Continent were instantly killed.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen sighed.
"Those who can come from the Mortal Continent to the outer realms are all outstanding geniuses. How could they be bullied by others?" Fang Chen thought to himself. "It seems this person didn't carefully read the booklet."
Only death awaited those who violated the rules.
After this matter, Fang Chen became even more cautious.
After the guards left, the spectators all dispersed.
"Boss, those guards are really tyrannical," said the Little Mouse.
"Of course. If these guards were placed in any of the Mortal Continents, they would be able to reign supreme," Fang Chen said.
But in the Heavenly Sword Mansion, they were only guards of the city lord's mansion.
"But boss, what is the cultivation rank the guard leader spoke of? Can you attack as you please with a cultivation rank?" The Little Mouse blinked and smiled.
Fang Chen shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
After the crowd dispersed, Fang Chen took the Little Mouse and found a cheaper inn to stay in.
"A night's stay costs a hundred purple crystals. If you rent it for a month, you'll have to pay three thousand purple crystals," the waiter said.
"Is there an independent courtyard?" Fang Chen asked.
It was too noisy here, and he preferred silence.
"We do, but it's a little expensive," the waiter said. "An independent courtyard costs eight thousand purple crystals a month."
Fang Chen nodded and paid 8,000 violet crystals before being led to an independent courtyard by the waiter.
"This …"
Before arriving at the courtyard, Fang Chen's face revealed a look of surprise.
"Sir, the independent courtyards of our inn all have formations that gather spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is very rich," the waiter said.
Fang Chen nodded and entered.
"Boss, the spiritual energy in this courtyard is more than ten times richer than in the Burial Sword Prefecture. As expected of the Extraterritorial Region," the Little Mouse said excitedly, jumping up and down.
Fang Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart, sat on the stone stool, and took out a small booklet.
"Let's take a look at the contents of the booklet first."
In the following time, Fang Chen began to carefully read the contents of the booklet.
It took him a total of three days to finish reading all the information in the booklet.
After three days, Fang Chen put down the booklet with a smile on his face.
The booklet recorded:
In the vast universe, there was a void sea.
The various islands in the Void Sea were the residences of martial artists.
Scar Island was a small island in the vast universe.
Although it was a small island, it was tens of thousands of times larger than the Ancient Sword Continent.
A Mystic King Realm martial artist would need a year to cover the entire Scar Island if they flew at full speed.
Scar Island had seventy-two regions, and the Qingyun Domain was one of them.
Each region was made up of many Mortal Continents. For example, the Qingyun Domain only had three Mortal Continents.
As for the other regions, some had more than ten Mortal Continents.
Scar Island was divided into twenty-four prefectures, and each prefecture controlled the Void Portal of three different regions.
The Void Portal of the Qingyun Domain, where Fang Chen was, belonged to the Demon Cloud Prefecture.
The Demon Cloud Prefecture was one of the twenty-four prefectures of Scar Island.
Within the Demon Cloud Prefecture, there were Void Portals of three different regions, including the Qingyun Domain.
Among the twenty-four prefectures, the Demon Cloud Prefecture's strength was considered below average.
Within the Demon Cloud Prefecture, there were eight prefectures.
Each prefecture controlled a vast amount of land.
The Sky Sword Prefecture was one of the eight prefectures of the Demon Cloud Prefecture, and it happened to be one of the prefectures that controlled the Void Portal of the Qingyun Domain.
The highest authority of the Sky Sword Prefecture was the City Lord Prefecture, which directly belonged to the Demon Cloud Prefecture.
Within the prefecture, there were four major armies that protected the Sky Sword Prefecture.
The army that Fang Chen saw before was one of them.
Within the Sky Sword Prefecture, one could not casually attack unless one had a rank.
What was a rank?
A rank was when some cultivators with boundless potential were chosen by the prefectures of the Demon Cloud Prefecture and absorbed into the Demon Cloud Prefecture. Once they became a member of the prefecture, they would have a rank.
Ranks were also divided into high and low ranks.
The white-clothed man with a folding fan had only been absorbed by the Sky Sword Prefecture and had the lowest rank, the ninth rank.
Even so, he was still able to act brazenly on the streets and not be punished.
"The size of the universe outside is simply unimaginable." Fang Chen sighed inwardly.
In the vast universe, there were countless small islands, and Scar Island was only one of them.
If Scar Island was so large, then how big was the universe?
At the very least, Fang Chen could not touch the level of the universe at this stage.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Chen's mood calmed down.
He had just arrived at the Extraterritorial Domain, and everything had to start over.
He could not bite off more than he could chew. Only by surviving would he have the opportunity to improve his cultivation.
"If you want to survive in the Sky Sword Prefecture, the fastest way is to have a rank." Fang Chen's eyes shone with a golden light as he muttered to himself.
It was very difficult to be absorbed by the Sky Sword Prefecture.
The Sky Sword Mansion was vast and had countless Mystic King Realm martial artists.
There were very few geniuses that could be absorbed by the prefecture.
The common currency of the universe was purple crystal and purple crystal soul stone.
Of course, in a place like the Sky Sword Prefecture, purple crystal was the common currency and purple crystal soul stone was very rare.
However, just as Fang Chen was thinking, he suddenly thought of the master of Skypiercing Peak, the Skypiercing Island Master.
"Skypiercing Island Master, Scar Island."
Thinking of this, Fang Chen's consciousness entered Skypiercing Peak.
"Master."
The half-beastman and the artifact spirit cupped their hands when they saw Fang Chen appear.
"I want to ask you something," said Fang Chen.
"Master, please speak," said the artifact spirit.
"Why is the master of Skypiercing Peak called the Skypiercing Island Master?" asked Fang Chen.
The artifact spirit directly said, "Master, there is a small island in the universe called Skypiercing Island.
The old master was the master of Skypiercing Island, and his strength was heaven-defying. "
As expected, Fang Chen's guess was correct.
Skypiercing Island was the same as Scar Island. It was also a small island in the universe.
"Master, why are you suddenly asking about this? Could it be that you've left the Mortal Continent and arrived in the universe?"
The artifact spirit suddenly asked excitedly.
The half-beastman also looked at Fang Chen with burning eyes.
Fang Chen nodded, not hiding anything.
"I've left the Qingyun Territory. I'm currently in a prefecture city in the Demon Cloud State, which is under Scar Island," Fang Chen said.
"Scar Island!"
The artifact spirit and half-beastman were very excited.
Although Fang Chen was currently on Scar Island, he had at least successfully left the Mortal Continent.
"Master, if you have the chance, you can go to Skypiercing Island. The old master was the master of Skypiercing Island. Although he has died, the old master's trusted subordinates are still on Skypiercing Island."
"Do you know the distance between Skypiercing Island and Scar Island?" asked Fang Chen.
The artifact spirit shook its head. "I don't know, but it should be very far.
I once heard the old master say that the universe is very vast, and the distance between each island is also very far.
The closest island is at least a hundred million miles away. "
Fang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
The universe was much larger than he had imagined.
"I won't be able to leave Scar Island for a while."
